Making Memories Countdown to One Year Anniversary Brandy & Mike

The learning how to communicate for the first time with someone who isn’t backing out, who is in this for the long haul has probably been one of the most difficult parts of our relationship for me. You see, I can talk your ear off, I am great at rambling but when it comes to having an actual conversation that could seem to be a confrontational topic I either shutdown or get defensive. It’s just how I have always been with certain topics. When it comes to a relationship, I am Mom and I am me, it’s been so many […]

5 Day Countdown – To One Year Anniversary

August 15, 2016 10 Comments

This coming Saturday will be our one year anniversary and boy it seems like portions flew by while other days went by slowly. We have had ups and we have had downs. There are many things about this relationship that were new for both of us. For starters, I never had much luck trying to date someone who didn’t have their own kids in the past. It just wasn’t something I had felt like venturing into again. I also ended up not having such luck dating someone with kids. To be fair, it seems I have had a blend of […]

How To Avoid Sketchy Online Daters

November 7, 2013 1 Comment

The dating scene can be a pretty slippery slope, and most people with dating experience would gladly vouch for that. However, when you throw the Internet into the mix, the whole thing becomes even more sketchy. See, prior to the rise of online dating sites, the entire dating process took place in person with the exception of blind dates. It usually happened in a public place like a coffee shop or a park. Someone would catch your eye and spark your attention, introduce themselves, start a conversation, and if you felt a connection with the person, you’d either ask them […]

I Truly Love my Life

January 15, 2013 1 Comment

I truly do love my life, I feel blessed to have three AMAZING children. I have a roof over our heads. I have been self employed for four years. I have amazing friends and while on my dating ventures I am meeting some more amazing people. I am truly blessed. Sometimes it’s so difficult to realize what it is you are thankful for when it’s staring you in the face every day. Hidden blessings seem to be passing by me every day and yet I fail, at times, to notice them as blessings. When my two older kids, who normally […]

An eHarmony Love Story

February 11, 2012 1 Comment

The series I Met My Love Online is coming along nicely, today I get to share my first story about a couple who met on eHarmony, the love story of Bill and Liz. I was living in Nashville, TN and Liz was living in Connecticut. We were both apprehensive at first to change our profile settings to open ourselves up for long distance matches, but our dates with local matches were not very productive or successful. For each of us, it was our last attempt to meet someone before canceling our membership. Once we were matched, together we went through […]

Christine & Tony’s Story of Life and Love Part 2: Tony’s Story

February 8, 2012 2 Comments

I’m wondering if this is going to read like True Confessions; however, it is all true and it will show that bad boys can become good boys and men really only want the same things that women do. I am 60-years-old and have been married for two years to Christine, my third wife. She is precious to me and I have a very strong love for her. I met and married my college sweetheart in 1969, had our son in 1971 and was ‘happily’ married for almost twenty years. My profession is in retail and I manage sales people for […]

My husband Gus and I met online in 2005 a couple of months after my ex-husband and I separated.

He had been dating online for about 4 years and I was into my second year. We were happy to have finally found a match. Happily Blended asked Brina, what was the most romantic thing Gus did? Gus cried his eyes out when he […]

June 17, 2010 2 Comments

The dating scene can take you for a loop! From singles who are looking for a no strings attached one night stand to those singles who want to marry you within just a couple weeks of knowing you. I have experienced it all in the short while I have been dating and although I know my ex husband and I were simply not meant to continue our lives together these experiences have made me remember the good times we had as friends. So I guess I can share a story … I was talking to this guy online, he messaged […]
